Quote:It looks like Mike Pence is quite the trendsetter. The US vice-president famously refuses to have dinner alone with any woman who isn’t his wife – and now working men across corporate America appear to be following his lead.
Ms. Mahdawi, I understand you probably won't recognize the name, but this has been known as the Billy Graham rule.
Quote:A new study, due to be published in the journal Organizational Dynamics, has found that, following the #MeToo movement, men are significantly more reluctant to interact with their female colleagues. A few highlights from the research include:
- 27% of men avoid one-on-one meetings with female co-workers. Yep, that’s right, almost a third of men are terrified to be alone in a room with a woman.
- 21% of men said they would be reluctant to hire women for a job that would require close interaction (such as business travel).
- 19% of men would be reluctant to hire an attractive woman
Feminists! Setting women's job equality back 50 years!

Completely understandable.

And the other thread setting women backwards: https://www.csnbbs.com/thread-881683.html
"Title IX is an obsolete relic."
And don't forget college admission quotas. Virtually all of those seats given to minorities for preference come from Asians or White females.

What does hiring an attractive woman have to do with if she's qualified or not?
You're not being punished, you set the rules, we're merely playing by them.

It's sad but that's the only recourse. I know I follow the Billy Graham route. If anything it'll stop wagging tongues.

Case in point is that story on the young man who DID have consensual relations with those two women co-workers, who then decided years later to ruin his life-cause.
Yea, eff that. We have a 21 YO son and both my wife and I, independent of one another felt the need to have "this" talk with him. A generation ago it wouldn't have even been a thought.
Sad.

Do you remember being told by others to always carry condoms? Now we have to tell the younger (and older too) generations to carry sex waivers or whatever they're called...and don't forget to get them signed before the act. As soon as you're done, head straight to a notary.
